"Interesting. Thank you, Bronte."

"Mayhaps you can tend to Rivervale business, and I shall catch up on some reading to discuss upon your return?"

"And in the year of Bitter snows, House Varich did seek a means to yoke the 'traitor kith' and did come to Master Steelgarden..." Bronte quotes

"Indeed! Oh, darling, you are most clever!"

Bronte puffs then starts quoting other segments that have nothing to do with the Chain. She's still young and gets excited "And so the tickleme whip became the joy of many a Fiona and satyr, and Mistress Dalarana went into hiding for a year wishing people would just forget about it"

"Yes, so, I shall read more on the chain."

"Symon, I bid you safe travels. Siv should be waiting."

He is watching the bookwyrm with a little respect, and a little envy now. "Can't believe Dagmar just... gave one away." A shake of his head. "I'll be back soon." Making sure that the Ladies are secure, then heading out.

She bows to Symon as he departs.

The three ladies scamper onto the hair and sleeves of the lad and go on with him.

Bronte quotes other sections happily "And the Defcafinator was destroyed by a Troll Storm known as Brekara Axerend! Do not suggest rebuilding and selling to any other lodge"

"Aye, so?" Zara encourages, even as she reads. Research to be done.

....fade to research...
